The author of this book is a descendant from the family and this is more of the family story. When the business came to be and when it was at its peck. She does not look into any of the guns themselves this is mainly just about the different family members who were responsible for the operation of the company and keeping it going.
She does go into the Winchester house in San Jose and gives her opinion about all of the stories. I won’t go into all of that. What I did like was the rise of the company and then the struggle to keep it at a level of success. Where it failed and when the family started seeing they could not hang onto it even after asking for help they had to sell off or go into bankruptcy. The story of the company was interesting as well as her story of her great aunts that she used to visit, those I found very interesting. A good book about a company that helped changed the west.
